Why getJournalSummary needs a policy

The tool name and the naming conventions of sibling tools indicate this performs a read operation that retrieves or queries journal summary data from the knowledge graph. No description was provided to suggest side effects. While confidence is slightly reduced due to missing documentation, the 'get' prefix and context of a knowledge base system support classification as a Read operation with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getJournalSummary' indicates retrieval of summary data. Empty description; however, semantic pattern matches sibling tools like 'getAllPages' and 'analyzeJournalPatterns' which are read operations.

How to control getJournalSummary

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Logseq MCP Tools, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for getJournalSummary:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "getJournalSummary": {}
  }
}

getJournalSummary is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Logseq MCP Tools — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
